FOR SALE IS ONE OF THE LEGENDARY SKIN-DIVERS OF THE 60s WITH ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE BEZELS.
-
CASE: OVERSIZED AND SEXY ALL-STEEL CASE IN MINTY SHAPE MEASURING A ROBUST 38mm ACROSS BEZEL NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL CROWN BY 46mm LUG TO LUG. CHECK OUT THOSE SHARP LINES AND THE ORIGINAL BRUSHING IS INTACT ON THIS CASE. I AM SUCH A SUCKER FOR BAKELITE BEZELS, AND THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS. BEZEL ROTATES WITH THE PERFECT AMOUNT OF FRICTION. THERE’S A MINOR SCRATCH ON THE CASEBACK, BUT OVERALL THIS THING IS PRACTICALLY MINT.
-
DIAL: YOU LOOKING FOR SOME IMMACULATELY PRESERVED TRITIUM? LOOK NO FURTHER. THE MATTE BLACK DIAL IS IN NICE CONDITION AND LOOKS AWESOME WITH THAT CRISP WHITE TEXT. I JUST LOVE THE CLASSIC EXPLORER STYLE ALTERNATING LUMED ARROW MARKERS AND NUMERALS. THE BROAD-ARROW STYLE HANDS ARE IN AWESOME SHAPE AS WELL. ONE OF THE SUBTLE GROOVY ELEMENTS ON THIS ONE IS THAT RED/ORANGE DATE WHEEL AT 3.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS ELGIN IS POWERED BY A GERMAN PUW M135 MOVEMENT WHICH IS RUNNING NICE AND KEEPING EXCELLENT TIME. DATE IS SEMI-QUICKSET BY ROTATING TIME BETWEEN 8PM AND MIDNIGHT REPEATEDLY. SERVICE HISTORY IS UKNOWN ON THIS ONE BUT HAS BEEN A DAILY WEARER OF MINE FOR WEEKS NOW.
- WATCH IS MOUNTED ON A PERIOD APPROPRIATE TROPIC STYLE STRAP WHICH LOOKS ULTRA SLICK ON THIS ONE. THESE ARE BECOMING HARDER AND HARDER TO FIND IN DECENT CONDITION. ONE OF THE BEST LOOKING SKIN-DIVERS FROM THE 60s IN MY OPINION. YOU’D BE HARD PRESSED TO FIND NICER THAN THIS. GRAB IT JUST IN TIME FOR THE FALL WEATHER AND THE SMASHING OF PUMPKINS!!!
